May 17 marks the Memphis return of MMA superstar Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who will square off against King Mo Lawal. The event will take place from The Landers Center, located just outside Memphis. Tickets for the event are on sale now on Ticketmaster.com, Bellator.com and The Landers Center Box Office.

A native of South Memphis, Rampage returns to The River City for the first time in fifteen years to battle King Mo in the Bellator Light Heavyweight Tournament Finals. Since joining Bellator in 2013, Rampage has delivered two highlight reel knockouts, and will face his toughest test in Bellator to date when he battles King Mo from The Landers Center on Saturday, May 17th live on Pay-Per-View.

"I've been wanting to come back to Memphis for the last decade, and I'm finally getting that chance to fight in one of the biggest fights of my career for Bellator," Jackson said. "After being part of the Bellator family for a while now, I feel like the old Rampage, and that's not a good thing for Mo. I'm back, I'm a monster, and I'm looking to put on another entertaining fight for all my fans on May 17th."

"When it comes down to it, this is a fight I've wanted for a long time, and I'm going to be able to beat his ass in his hometown, and everyone is going to respect me," Lawal said. "Rampage is just a stepping stone in my way to get that title shot again and get that belt. It's all I want, and after I beat Rampage, I'm going for that belt, simple as that."

"May 17th is going to be an absolutely huge night for Bellator, live on Pay-Per-View." Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney said.
